And the answer to the Bieber question was 225 m/s2, which is about 23 g's.

"The NHTSA standard for a sudden impact acceleration on a human that would cause severe injury or death is 75 g's for a "50th percentile male", 65 g's for a "50th percentile female", and 50 g's for a "50th percentile child".

The since we need 50-65 g's, the answer is "not nearly enough".

Well, doing my mental math here, the Miley question has you going just under 64 mph, which should be fast enough for this guy...

... and with any luck, he'll smack into Bieber's wreckage to finish him off as well.

Would you like to read my Justin Bieber analogy of buoyancy? I don't care, here it is anyhow.

You see, you are at a show to see the Beebs and you want to be down front. So you walk towards the stage. Of course you are there early to get a good view of his Beebness. However, a steady rush of 12 year old girls wants to be by him more, forcing you back.

A cat is dropped out of a helicopter.At the instant the cat is dropped, it meows.If the cat and the meow reach the ground at the same time, how high up is the helicopter?

/He didn't like cats.

Mine did something similar.

You're standing at the edge of a sheer cliff 500 feet off the ground. There's a little old lady standing 30 feet away from the base of the cliff. A hoodlum is approaching her from 100 feet away from the base of the cliff. you have a 5 pound rock. Assuming your aim is deadly, how fast and at what angle do you have to throw the rock to hit the hoodlum in the head 5 feet away from the little old lady.

Just picked that up the other night while it was on sale... finally managed to get a stable orbit last night with a satellite, currently have a few Kerbanauts in orbit as well. Trying to decide if my next step will be trying out docking or trying to put a satellite around the Mün.

I'm guessing you can do the satellite thing fine. Docking is, of course, the critical next step before a moon shot. Just follow in the footsteps of Mercury-Gemini-Apollo.

You don't get to learn any actual physics til about 3 years into your Ph.D. - til then they just bombard you with stupid math problems to try to make you go away.

I remember my advanced Calc teacher mocking me for bringing up Physics stuff during class. At the time I was pissed but now I look back on it and realize that yeah, in the end its all farking math to begin with.

We'll see about the satellite part, since getting something to insert into orbit without launching from that object's gravity well just seems kind of daunting to me. But yeah, my next step is practicing at getting an orbit as close to circular as possible, so that I can actually have a chance of performing a docking maneuver.
